Cold Weather – the Norm

For the record, here in California’s East Bay, very cold weather has been the norm since October. Apart from the widely-reported periods of rain, almost every night has brought deep frosts, and despite sunny skies, daytime temperatures have remained low. When the current temperatures are compared to those of the past twenty years, global cooling is a rational conclusion. As with the heavy rainfall (welcome), the low temperatures are not historically unusual.

It is worth noting that the weather forecasters totally failed to predict this wet winter and were wrong in forecasting la Nina last winter. Quite frequently their daily predictions are strikingly inaccurate. Why should we believe that weather 30 years ahead can be predicted?
